Marxism and Faithįor those of us who consider ourselves persons of faith, Juncker’s affection for Marx and Marxism is especially troubling. For this reason alone, Juncker’s celebration of Marx and his message at Trier dishonor another part of history: the lives and deaths of those martyrs who fought for liberty and human dignity.
